Prevent robbery
The accused, who are guards at Rosslyn garden where the radio personality resides, are accused of failing to use all reasonable means to prevent the robbery.
According to the prosecution, the accused committed the offence on January 14 this year at Rosslyn Gardens estate, Nairobi.
The presenter was attacked at her home on Monday night by a gang of seven.
She reported the matter at Nyari police station and was expected to record a comprehensive statement at Gigiri Police station once she had finished her Tuesday’s engagements.
The gangsters were said to have tied up two security guards manning the radio presenter’s house and then proceeded to cut the metal grills on the windows before gaining access to the living room
